Chapter 24. Seeing Red.

Tyler walked down the steps of the farmhouse porch and threw her bag into the back of her P4XL. It was the day after the wedding, and everything was getting put back to normal. Raph was inside the van making sure that there was enough room for every one's bags and room for him and his brothers for the trip home. Leo had already left with Keno and Splinter.

"Sorry Raph," said Tyler realizing that she had almost hit him, "…I didn't know you were in there."

He looked up at her and grabbed her bag, placing it with the others before climbing out.

"Its fine," he said as he sat down on the rear door frame. He looked her up and down for a moment. She had on a grey Rolling Stones vest top with little denim shorts and grey pumps. Her skin looked a little browner due to catching the sun while she had been out and about round the farm. Her hair was longer now too. She had it tied up in a ponytail but short pieces of it still fell on her face.

"…you got everything you need?" he asked as he rested his elbows on his knees.

She nodded, "Yup. Although, I would rather stay here then go back to the city, it's so chilled, I feel, happy here." She opened her arms and tilted her head back feeling the warm sun on her skin.

He knew how she felt. Here they did not have to hide. They had acres of land to roam and relax in. They had no need for weapons, and they could be free to do what they pleased.

As Tyler lifted her arms above her head her top road up revealing her tummy. Raph just stared and bit his bottom lip hungrily.

"Hey guys!" Mikey jumped down the porch steps next to the two, dropping his bag at his feet. "How are we this morning?" he wrapped an arm around Tyler's waist and squeezed her into him. She gave a little yelp and giggled as he kissed her on top of the head. Raph rolled his eyes and stood up, he picked up Mikes bag and put it in the back of the van with the others.

"Is that everyone's bags?" asked Tyler as she kept fighting off Mikey's playful prods and pokes.

"Nah," said Raph, "…still waiting on Donny."

"Yeah? Well your probably gonna be in for a long wait," chirped Mike, "…he's probably still coming round from last night's sexy time!"

Raph looked at Mike then at Tyler who nudged Mike to shut up. "What's going on?"

Mikey looked at Raph with the biggest grin on his face as Tyler awkwardly rubbed her neck.

"We, um, we kind of disturbed Donny and Irma having…um…"

"SEX brah!" blurted Mikey, unable to keep it in.

Raph's eyebrows lifted, "What?! Donny?!"

Tyler put her fingers to her mouth hushing the two.

"…they were in the grass at the far end of the orchard…" she lowered her voice and both Raph and Mike leant in closer, "…Irma was naked, their clothes were everywhere and well, um, there was a lot of groaning and stuff."

Raphael's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Donny, of all his brothers, would be the first to have sex.

"Man, him and Irma?" said Raph, his mind was ticking. "…is she, you know, ok?" he looked at Mike who shrugged his shoulders.

Tyler looked at them both, "What do you mean is she ok? Why wouldn't she be ok?"

Mike and Raph looked at her then one another and smirked.

"Well she's only small…" Raph frowned.

Tyler darted looks between the two, "So?"

The two laughed a little.

Mikey looked at her and lifted an eyebrow, "Babe, we're not like human guys, we're kind of, bigger."

Tyler's eyes widened as she glanced at both Mike's and Raph's crotch area, "Oh…" she said then realized she was staring "OH! Oh my god, shit, sorry, I'm staring!" she put her hands over her eyes trying to revert away. Mikey and Raph thought this was hilarious.

"None of us have ever, you know…" Raph said sheepishly, "…so even though Donny has said its fine for us to, well, do it, we still don't know how it would go."

Tyler looked up at him and then at Mikey, then unintentionally looked at their crotches again. She screwed her eyes up tightly as the two turtles started laughing again. She shook her head and tried to control herself.

"Seriously?! You're that, big?"

Mikey nodded, "Google it!"

She looked at them both again and took her phone from her pocket. Raph and Mikey both sat on the door frame of the van with their arms folded, both with smirks on their faces. They watched as Tyler tapped away on her phone. She turned away from them as she tried to avoid the glare of the sun on her phone screen. Suddenly her eyes widened as she found what she was looking for.

"Holy shit!" she spat as she turned back to them.

"BOOM! There it is!" chuckled Mikey. He stood up and walked over to her, "…ours aren't exactly like those…" he moved her phone so that he could see what she was looking at, "…they're the same sort of style I guess, but more human like, and it's on the outside, not inside, if you get me…"

Raph shook his head, "Mike! I think she gets it, how are we even having this conversation?!"

Mikey and Tyler looked at one another, "Does that make you horny baby?!" Mikey said in an Austin Powers style accent as he grinned from ear to ear.

Tyler blushed hard and looked away.

As Raph stood up Donny and Irma walked out of the farmhouse holding hands. Mikey, Tyler and Raph watched them. Donny was carrying his and Irma's bags. As they reached the van Donny pulled her into him, giving her a long lingering kiss. They stopped and smiled at one another. Donny handed her her bag gently and moved some loose hair away from her face. "I'll see you tonight, right?"

She nodded, she looked like she was in a trance. As she turned to walk away, he grabbed her arm, swung her around and gave her another deep kiss. She smiled as they pulled away from one another and she wondered off to where she had parked her car.

Raph, Mikey and Tyler looked at him stunned. He threw his bag in the back of the van and jumped in. With a deep sigh he put his arms behind his head, crossed his legs and smiled.

"Good night?" said Raph.

Donny didn't say a word. He just gave them a knowing look and put his thumb up.

Mikey grinned and nodded, "Dude, yeah you did!"

"I need to catch Irma!" said Tyler as she darted off in the direction of the parked cars.

Both Mike and Raph moved closer to the van and continued to look at their brother.

"Come on Donny," said Raph, "…you gotta give us something bud."

He looked back at his brothers and pushed his glasses up his nose. As much as he was trying, he couldn't keep it in anymore. He sprung up and moved closer to them.

"Guys, we totally did it!" he said, unable to contain himself. "Oh man, it was amazing, she was amazing!" he slumped back with a blissful sigh as he reminisced the night before.

Raph and Mike scrambled into the back of the van to listen more and ask questions that were burning inside.

"So, how did it feel?" asked Mikey excitedly.

"There are no words that can describe it. It was the best feeling ever; it was like every cell in my body exploded at the same time!"

"And how was it for Irma?" asked Raph.

Donny smiled; a hint of naughtiness appeared in his eye. "She loved it!" he gave a little grin, "…I'm not saying that to be cocky but the things she was saying and the things she wanted me to do… she loved it!"

"So, everything worked?" Raph continued, "…everything went in the right places?"

Donny looked at his brother, "We had to build up to it. She was scared a little but excited when she saw how different I was. She has been with people in the past, so she was at ease with the whole process. We took it slow at first, then when everything felt right for her, we just went with it and oh my god!"

They all slumped back.

"Are you gonna do it again brah?" asked Mikey as he looked over to Donny.

"Oh definitely!" he said, "She's coming to the lair tonight, she's interested in my lab. I was hoping to show her all my tech too and then let her stay over and, you know, see what she wants to do. But she is Kinky, she has no inhibitions!"

Donny eyed his brothers for a moment then leaned back into them.

"Guys, have you ever noticed a certain scent come from Tyler or April?" he asked as he got both his brothers' attention back, "…a scent that is only around when they are? One that overpowers their perfume?"

Mikey shot up from his slouch, "Yeah! It's like a sweet, fresh smell, I smelt that on Tyler last night."

"I smell that whenever she enters a room," said Raph, "Kinda like cinnamon?"

"Well, Irma has a particular smell too, one that is her own," said Donny, "…only, it got much stronger last night when we were…" he felt a grin on his face but then shook it away to continue what he was saying, "…the scent gets more intense when the female is aroused, it drove me crazy! She said there were times when I was like a wild animal."

Mikey thought for a while. He had noticed the smell on Tyler often, it was definitely stronger last night, he remembered the smell at the BBQ when he had hugged her, the time they were dancing in the club, he remembered that because he had an overwhelming urge to bite her, he put that down to being hungry. There was the time at the Den when he helped to dry her down, the night they fell asleep in the back of the 4x4. He remembered all those times and more, the first being when she went into his room and that old song of theirs played. Did he arouse her?

"Irma!" Tyler shouted as she caught up to her friend. Irma turned around and watched as Tyler got closer. "Hey there girlie," said Tyler, "…I wanted to have a little chat with you if that's ok?"

Irma looked at Tyler as she opened the rear boot of her car and put her bag in., she then closed it and leant against the rear. "If this is about last night, I am so sorry that you had to witness that," Irma was not shy although she did seem it at first, so her apologizing was a little strange. She was proud of who she was and made no excuses for her heightened sex drive or openness about it. "…we thought we were in a place away from everyone but obviously we weren't."

Tyler looked at Irma and smiled. "There is no need to apologize. You and Donny really like each other huh?"

Irma nodded frantically, "Oh yes! I just hope he sticks around now after we did what we did, most guys don't."

Tyler nodded. Irma was the type of girl who just wanted to be wanted. She was scared that unless she did what was expected guys would not like her, so she did the opposite. She would sleep with them and then that was it, she never heard from them again. Something about Donny however was different and she hoped that this time something might come from this.

"Look," said Tyler, "…I promise you that Donny is nothing like other guys, well, he literally is nothing like any other guy, as you probably know by now!" she gave a chuckle.

Irma smiled, "You can say that again!" she straightened herself up and gave a little wince.

"You ok?" asked Tyler as she noticed.

"I'm fine," she said with a smile, "…I think Donny's animal instinct took over towards the end, it got a little rough but I'm not complaining." She moved a little closer to Tyler, "…it was the best sex I have ever had; he is so big! It was like he was touching every part of me inside; it was like his penis adjusted to fit me perfectly!" she stared into space for a moment with a dreamy look on her face.

"Did it hurt?" Tyler said as she waived her hand in front of Irma's face.

"It did, to start, but he took his time and he was gentle, eventually it just, fit, it was perfect." She smiled dreamily again, "…You and Mikey so need to try it!"

"Me and Mikey?!" Tyler scoffed.

"Yeah. Donny said that all the guys penises are different, so it could hurt depending on who you're with," Irma continued as she started to lower the roof on her little classic red convertible. "Donny also mentioned something about mating season? Something I have never heard about before in turtles, but apparently they become more horny and sex can be a lot rougher around that time of year, it's in the next month or two he said, so I'm looking forward to that!"

"Me and Mikey?!" Tyler repeated.

Irma looked at her confused, "Yeah, you are a couple? Aren't you?"

Tyler shook her head.

"Really?" said Irma, looking a little stunned, "…but you guys are like meant for each other. The way you danced together in the club that time and last night…"

Tyler looked at her blankly, her eyes darting around.

"…he is so territorial of you, so protective and loving, and you look at him with so much love…" she continued, "…you too need to get together, fast!"

Irma jumped in her car and turned the engine over and reversed out of the space, she pulled up next to Tyler and handed her a CD.

"Will you give this to Donny for me? It's just a mix of my favorite songs. We were talking about stuff we liked, and music was one of them."

Tyler took the CD and looked at her friend.

"Will I see you later at the lair?" asked Irma.

"You should do, I have some stuff to do when I get back, but I should be back to see you. That's if you're not shagging!" Tyler smirked.

With that Irma put her thumb up and drove off, pipping her horn as she went.

Tyler watched as she drove away then turned and made her way back towards the back of her van.

"Donny," she said making the three guys jump. "…here, your beloveded asked me to give you this"

Donny took the CD and smiled, "Can we listen to it on the drive home?" his smile getting wider.

Tyler sighed and smiled back, "Ok, but if its shit then we are turning it off."

Donny got up excitedly and climbed into the front cab, "I'll drive!"

Tyler climbed up into the back of the van with Raph and Mikey. Mikey held his hand out for Tyler to take, she looked at his hand then looked at his face and blue eyes, he had the biggest smile on his face.

"You want to sit with me babe?" he asked still smiling.

She was confused. Other people that knew about the turtles assumed that her and Mikey were a couple, but they were far from it. She was a bit weirded out and just needed to be by herself for a bit.

"Um, I'm gonna go sit up front…" she moved herself from his reach trying to avoid eye contact, "…I'm not feeling too great." She squeezed between him and Raph not looking at either of them and climbed in the cab with Donny. He looked back at Raph and shrugged his shoulders. They all knew something was wrong but didn't want to get on her nerves by asking. Donny looked at her as he started the engine.

"You ok?" he asked.

Tyler nodded and curled up on the passenger seat. "I'm just gonna have a nap, I'm feeling a bit tired."

Donny nodded, he played the music low so she could drift off if she wanted, but she never did.

When they got back to the lair Leo and Splinter had already unpacked and gotten back to their usual routine. Raph, Mike and Donny had collected all the bags from the p4xl and brought them down to the lair. Tyler had not spoken a word to any of them all the way home and was still quiet now. She walked past all the guys and went to her room.

"Is something wrong?" Leo asked his brothers as he watched Tyler go down the corridor.

Raph, Mikey and Donny stood about looking at one another all shrugging.

"She hasn't said anything all the way home," said Mikey looking deflated, he turned to his brothers, "…I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

"No, you didn't," said Donny, "…not while I was there anyway, what were you talking about before that?"

"You and Irma having sex," said Raph, joining in the conversation.

"Wait, what? you had sex?!" spat Leo, "…with Irma?"

"No, with Casey, yes with Irma!" Raph snapped.

Tyler walked out from the corridor now wearing black leather trousers and a leather jacket over the rolling stones vest she had on earlier. She made her way to the couch and sat down, she picked up her boots that were at the side of the coffee table and proceeded to pull them on.

"You look like you're on some kind of search and destroy mission." Said Raph as he walked over to her.

She didn't look up at him, she just continued to pull on her boots. "It's a search mission, not a destroy."

"Cool!" said Mikey "Let's go, I'll come with you!"

"NO!" She snapped as she stood up, Mikey looked shocked and hurt by her outburst, "…I need some space, I need to do this myself."

She looked at all the brothers. "It's not dangerous, I just need to find someone I was talking to at April and Casey's engagement party."

Leo nodded. He had no idea what was happening, but she needed to do what she needed to do.

She turned to Raph, "I need your bike."

He took the keys from his belt and tossed them to her. She caught them and headed back to the corridor towards the workshop.

Mikey ran to her side and put a hand on her shoulder to stop her.

She flew around and pushed his hand away. The look of hurt on his face was killing her but she needed to get away and think, about him, about them. It wouldn't work if he were with her. She needed to figure out what this between them was.

"Tyler I, have I? what's wrong?" His sad blue eyes pierced hers.

She swallowed hard, "I need some time Mikey, please."

He looked at her tear-filled eyes and nodded.

She turned around, ran down the corridor and disappeared into the workshop to where Raph's bike was.

Tyler had been to the NYU dorm and room that was on the card given to her by the red head at the engagement party. She was met by her roommate who gave her details of a party that was going on at one of the frat houses.

She pulled up outside and looked around at her surroundings. There were drunken people all over and she had caught the attention of a group of guys that were outside. One of the guys, who thought he was in with a chance, made his way over to her.

"Sup, hot stuff?" he said as he bit his lip, looking her up and down.

She raised an eyebrow, amused by this cocky young man. She did not entertain him and continued to walk to the front door.

"Hey!" he shouted as he grabbed her hand, "…you looking to party?"

She turned and looked at him. "I'm looking for someone, a girl, a red head, anyone here by that description?"

He smiled like a kid in a candy store. "Hey if that's what you're into then I'm game!"

Tyler rolled her eyes. She snatched her hand away and turned back towards the house. Suddenly the guy flew past her and tumbled on to the grass at the side of her. His friends who were laughing before started to back away. Tyler turned to see a familiar face.

"Hi Karai," she grinned.

Karai cracked her knuckles and walked towards her. "Silly little boys, they bother me."

Tyler folded her arms and looked Karai up and down. "Let me guess, Leo called you?"

Karai smiled and nodded. "He calls you his little sister, his, soul mate…"

"Well, he calls you the love of his life…" Tyler interrupted.

Karai glared at her and a little smile appeared on her face.

"…do I see a little happiness there?" Tyler continued.

Karai smirked then straightened up. She wasn't in her usual purple dragons' attire. She was dressed in all black, her jacket was shorter than a raincoat and she had a baggy purple scarf around her neck.

"Why are we here?" snapped Karai as she looked around her at the people she loathed.

"Why are you here?" Tyler snapped back. Karai shot a look back at her. There was obviously still some kind of hostility between them which Tyler wanted to be rid of, she didn't have time for this kind of shit right now.

"Leo asked," Karai continued, "…he was concerned and wanted to make sure you were safe. I don't know why; from my experience you are more than capable of handling yourself."

Tyler looked her up and down again. "so, you just agreed?"

Karai nodded and lifted an eyebrow.

Tyler laughed, she then turned and started to walk towards the door. Karai felt her blood boil, why was she laughing? Karai ran and blocked Tyler's way. "What is so funny?!" she snapped.

Tyler stopped and took a deep breath. "It's ok Karai. Just admit it, you still love him."

Karai's eyes widened and a redness covered her cheeks. "…he loves you too, he told me as much just the other day."

"But he, I…" Karai stuttered.

"He told me that at the time, breaking up with you was the right thing to do, for him and for you by the sound of things," Tyler smiled, "…It doesn't mean the love isn't still there."

Karai gave an annoyed look at Tyler, what the hell did she know? Karai went to snap at Tyler again but was stopped as Tyler shut her down.

"Look, I know you think that there is something going on between Leo and me but there isn't…"

Karai furrowed her brows, still annoyed.

"…Leo is my, well, he's my sensei, my brother. Him, Casey and Splinter practically raised me."

Karai's face softened as she listened to Tyler.

"I am in love with someone else and Leo is in love with you. We should be united, not doing this merry little dance every time we meet."

Karai bowed her head, she knew what Tyler was talking about. She felt possessive over Leo. She was jealous of the bond he and Tyler had, it was obviously something beyond her and if she loved Leo and wanted to be with him, she would have to come to terms with that.

"I assure you Karai, he loves you. And I would like us to be friends."

Karai gave Tyler a smile and a nod, she had never had a friend before.

"I apologize Tyler. I would like us to be friends too. I do love Leonardo and it is difficult to suppress the jealousy that can sometimes plague me. I hope you understand. It could take a bit of time."

Tyler nodded and the two smiled at one another warmly.

"So," Karai continued, "…why are we here?"

Tyler took a deep breath, "well, this is where I start to deal with my feelings for the love of my life. Come on. Hopefully, you will make another friend tonight."

The two walked into the frat house, turning heads as they went. Looks of want from the guys, who liked what they saw, and jealous looks from the girls, not happy that their boyfriends were eyeing these two unknown girls up. Tyler went from person to person asking after the red head, Karai watched on, keeping an eye out for any malicious attempts towards the two, covering Tyler while she did what she needed.

"Yeah!" one girl smiled at Tyler and pointed to the sliding doors at the back of the house that led out to the patio and pool in the back garden, "…I last saw her out back."

Tyler nodded and thanked the girl then her and Karai made their way to the patio. Once out the two scanned the area. They heard a bit of a commotion at the far end of the garden past the pool. Tyler looked over and saw a head of flame red hair in the middle of a group of guys, the same guys that were out front earlier. Tyler immediately stormed over and barged through the crowd to the red head.

"Woah!" said the guy who tried to man handle her earlier, "…so, you decided to join the party huh? Well that's good, you look like you can take it rough and we have no problem with that!"

Tyler glanced at the red head, giving her a reassuring look, making sure she was ok. The red head looked relieved.

Tyler looked back at the guy and smirked, "To be honest, you look like you're packing a pinky…" his grin started to disperse, "…Its always the guys with the tiniest dicks that have the biggest attitude, you need to calm yourself and go home young lady!" the guys around them started to laugh, and the guy looked around in embarrassment. He looked back at Tyler and the red head; he was furious. His head finally popped, and he threw a punch in her direction. She automatically deflected his attempt, maneuvering around him, jabbing him in the throat and pushing him into his friends.

"Do yourselves a favor guys, fuck off!" she spat.

They helped up their friend and they all dashed off through the garden to the streets.

Karai walked over towards the girls and laughed as the guys ran past her.

Tyler turned to the red head, "You ok?"

She nodded with a big smile but was shaking her hand, it was hurting her.

Karai grabbed her hand and examined it, "Looks like you got a few punches in, correct?"

"Yeah," she said back as she watched Karai walk over to a nearby table, she picked up a napkin and emptied some ice from discarded drinks into it and returned back, placing the make shift ice pack on the red heads knuckles.

"Thank you," she said, "…why are you guys here? Not that I don't appreciate your help but, you two don't seem the type to be down for further education. No offence."

Tyler grinned, "Yeah, you could say that. I came looking for you. You left me the details of where to find you. I was hoping that we could carry on our conversation."

The red head nodded and the three of them sat at a table whilst Tyler did the introductions.

(a while later)

"I had no idea that you felt that way about Michelangelo…" said Karai as she took a drink from her bottle, "…what do you plan to do?"

"God knows!" said Tyler as she gave a little burp after downing the last bit of her beer. "…what do you think Red?" she looked to the Red head who was balancing back on her chair.

"Like I said, I think he's into you too. I saw you two at the party and to be honest I'm sort of surprised that you guys haven't done anything about it already, it's pretty obvious that he likes you and you like him. Is he not very clever?"

"He's not the sharpest tool in the box, put it that way," said Karai as Tyler glared at her.

Tyler let out a deep sigh and smacked her head on the table in front of her, letting out a frustrated whimper. Karai chuckled and rubbed Tyler's shoulder.

"I do agree with Red," said Karai, "…from how you describe it it does sound like he is holding back, for what reason? I do not know."

Tyler continued to repeatedly thud her head on the table.

"So," said Red, "…sorry to get off the subject in hand, but when are you going to introduce me to Raph? Now that I know the truth, I'm kind of eager to meet him properly!"

Tyler decided to give Red the low down on Raph and the guys, she was now a fellow Turtle lover and Tyler liked her. The fact that she wasn't the only one attracted to a mutant was comforting, she now had people she could talk to about this kind of stuff.

"I will, I promise," said Tyler lifting her head, a cardboard coaster now stuck to her face. "…its just a little tricky at the moment, what with my little revenge plan pending and all."

Red nodded and tipped her bottle slightly.

"Speaking of which," Tyler continued as the coaster dropped back on to the table, "…we are all in with this plan, right?"

"Definitely!" said Karai taking another drink.

"Right on!" Red agreed.

"Cool," Tyler carried on, "…it won't be yet, there's still some stuff I need to sort first."

"No problem," said Red, "Just keep me posted and I'll be ready. It's about time I dusted off my bow and got back into my archery."

"United states archery champion 3 years running!" Tyler was impressed, "…that is awesome!"

"Thanks," said Red with a smile, "…I'm not exactly hawk eye but I'm good."

"Better then good!" Karai smiled, "…but, I will teach you some combat skills too, just so you can protect yourself incase those silly little boys decide to come back. Stupid little tiny dicked dicks!"

Tyler and Red burst out laughing.

"Where the hell did that come from Karai?" laughed Tyler.

Karai lifted an eyebrow and shook her head.

"Right, well, we better be going," said Tyler as she stood up, "…I have heard your phone buzz 4 times in the last half hour…" Tyler pointed to Karai's pocket, "…I bet that's Leo checking up on me."

She then felt her pocket vibrate also, she pulled out her phone to look.

"12 missed calls and 10 texts from Mikey?" Red said as she looked over Tyler's shoulder, "…Yeah, he is so not into you!" she smirked.

Tyler shoved her phone back into her pocket as the three made their way into the house heading to the front door. Suddenly the guys that were causing a problem earlier came bounding through and surrounded them. There were more of them this time, some of them sporting the foot logo on bandanas.

Tyler and Karai automatically adjusted their stance, keeping Red between them.

The tiny dick guy walked forward with a big grin, "You're not so tough now are you? Not now I've brought some friends!"

Tyler straightened up, "Are you stupid?!" she spat, "…not only have you proved you have a tiny dick but you have also had to get the bigger boys to come help you beat up a few girls?!"

The guy looked around sheepishly, becoming more embarrassed.

Karai shook her head and smirked at him.

"…and to be honest…" she continued, "…I'm kind of insulted, you could have at least gotten more guys to come help. At least that way we'd feel like we'd had a bit of a challenge and you'd have a better reason to look like a tit, I mean, if anything's worth doing its worth doing right, right?"

Everyone was silent, waiting for someone to make a move, party goers were starting to edge nearer to the doors, clearly something was about to go down.

The tension in the air could be cut by a knife as the girls and guys stared at each other.

Karai's phone started to ring again, this time it wasn't on silent and the tone rang out.

"Damn it Leo!" spat Karai as the noise prompted the guys to attack.

Tyler flew into them kicking and punching, Karai did the same as more people flooded into the house. Red joined in as best she could, hitting the attackers over the head with vases and lamps, anything she could pick up and throw.

The fight didn't take long to defuse and soon the girls found themselves in a sea of bodies. On lookers were stood hugging the walls and were crammed into the smallest spaces they could find trying to avoid the fighting and items that were being thrown around.

Red turned around and looked at Tyler and Karai. They looked fine; not like they had been in a fight at all. "Is this like, normal for you two?"

"Sort of," said Tyler as she took Raph's bike keys out of her jacket pocket, "…this was nothing though, we are used to a bigger onslaught of fighters…" she looked down at the guy that had started all this, he was slowly coming around, she bent over, "…THEY ARE USUALLY MEN WITH BIGGER DICKS!" she shouted at him, finishing her sentence. "Right," she continued, "…time to go."

Tyler, Karai and Red all said good night and made a pact that they would all stay in touch. Red made Tyler promise again that she would introduce her to Raph.

After the bike ride home Tyler parked Raph's bike and lowered the shutters in Donny's workshop. As she waited for them to close, she came to realize that she still had not resolved her problem regarding her and Mikey. Would she ever? At this point now she just needed to see him and apologize for being so short with him.

"Hey," came a sweet voice from the workshop doorway, it was Irma.

"Oh, hey Irma," Tyler smiled back, "…I take it Donny's not had his way with you yet?"

Irma chuckled, "Not yet, the night is still young though."

Tyler put her helmet on the back of the bike and walked over to her, "Do you know if the guys have ordered any food? I'm starving!"

Irma nodded, "Yeah, there's pizza on the coffee table."

"Cool," said Tyler as she followed Irma to the lounge.

As they walked through, she noticed that Irma was uncharacteristically quiet, normally she would be chewing her ear off about Donny or science, but she did not really say anything. As they reached the lounge Tyler was surprised to see that there was no one else there. This was a little strange, Donny would not have invited Irma down if he knew he was patrolling. She reached the couch and sat down. Irma passed her a plate and lifted one of the pizza boxes for her to take a slice.

Tyler did, then she looked at Irma. "Where are the guys?"

Irma took a slice for herself and looked at her friend, "They'll be here soon."

Tyler watched Irma as she ate her pizza. What was going on? Tyler started to eat hers too.

The two were quiet for a moment as they ate and then suddenly music started to play loudly throughout the lair.

The guys strolled out of the dojo with the karaoke machine, "Yeah gurl!" said Mikey into one of the microphones, "…Tyler, this is for you!"

They all started singing away to the song and danced to the music, pretending that they were a boy band.

Tyler sat stunned with her mouth full as they all moved in sync in front of her and Irma. Mikey was hitting the high notes and Raph was doing the husky lingering voice thing while Leo and Donny attempted the backing vocals. Tyler swallowed the food before she burst out laughing.

"What the hell is going on?!" she sat chuckling with Irma as she watched the performance, loving every second.

"Mikey wanted to cheer you up," said Irma, "…he wanted to make you laugh and he thought of this!"

Tyler looked at Mikey who was in his element dancing and singing, he gave her a flash of his teeth and a wink. He was amazing. No matter how she was with him earlier, all he wanted was to make her smile again, regardless of how she made him feel.

After the song ended Tyler and Irma stood up and gave them a standing ovation. Mikey bounded over to Tyler. "Did you like it? It was for you! I knew you were down, and I wanted to cheer you up, so I thought we would…"

Tyler put her hand on his mouth trying to hush him, he did and looked at her.

"Before you carry on, I just want to say sorry…" she moved her hand away and his eyes softened at the apology. "…I didn't mean to hurt or upset you, I'm, confused about some stuff and I just needed some time to myself to work it all out."

"And did you?" he said back, "…did you work it out?"

Those blue eyes of his, they just melted her every time she looked into them.

"Not quite," she replied, "…its gonna take longer then I thought but hopefully we'll get there."

He smiled, his eyes darting between her eyes and her lips, "Yeah, hopefully we will."

"Hey Tyler," pipped Donny as he was getting dragged off in the direction of his bedroom by Irma, "…good to see you back to your old self, I'm here if you need to chat!"

"Well I think your gonna be a bit busy for a while Donny, but thanks!" she shouted back.

"You ok Ty?" asked Leo as he walked over to her, he gave her a little wink, he knew exactly where she had been and who with.

"Yeah, I'm good, I'm sorry about earlier…" she looked at him and Raph as he got closer, "…none of you did anything wrong, its just, me, but I'm alright."

"Really? Are you though?" Raph cupped her face with his hand, her big bright eyes looking up at him, he held in a sigh of contentment and used his thumb to wipe a drop of blood from her cheek. "…this yours, or the other guys?"

She looked at his thumb then back at him, "Don't worry, really, it's not mine." She moved her attention to Leo, "You need to speak to Karai," he nodded, "I already have, we're talking tomorrow."

Tyler smiled, "I think you're going to be surprised, possibly happy, maybe."

Leo smiled and nodded again, "Don't leave it too late in getting some sleep," he started to walk towards his room, "…its been a busy few days, we all need rest," with that he disappeared.

"You know what guys, I think I'm gonna hit the sack too," Tyler looked at Mikey and Raph as she took off her jacket, laying it on the back of the couch. "…my head is mashed, and I got stuff to do tomorrow."

"Oh yeah?" said Mikey as he tried to pull her into him, "…like what exactly?" he gave her a smile that made her legs week as she managed to get away from his grasp.

She started walking to her room but turned to them both, "I'm gonna be kicking your ass…" she pointed at Mikey, "…and your ass…" she pointed at Raph, "…on mortal combat 7!"

Mikey and Raph both looked at one another and laughed, "Ok ty…" said Raph, still chuckling.

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that babe," said Mikey as they watched her give them both the finger and disappear into her room.

"That's right…" continued Raph, "…let's see what happens!"

The two stood and looked down the corridor for a moment then looked at each other.

"You wanna go practice?" asked Raph quickly.

"Yeah, I think we should," replied Mikey.

They both ran over to the couch and turned on the PS4 ready to get in plenty of practice before facing Tyler tomorrow.
